Medical Keyboards

Fully Washable & Waterproof Medical Keyboards

Medical keyboards have recently become recognized as an important and cost-effective tool for infection prevention. A study performed by Dr. William Rutala, University of North Carolina, found that as many as 25% of hospital keyboards tested positive for the deadly super bug, MRSA (the washability of Seal Shield keyboards enables them to address this problem), but daily disinfecting was an effective deterrent to cross contamination. Seal Shield manufactures medical keyboards which are priced like standard keyboards and type like standard keyboards but have unique features which make them ideal medical keyboards. Seal Shield recommends that its medical keyboards be washed regularly, to eliminate pathogens on the surface, thereby protecting the users.

Seal Shield is the leading developer of medical keyboards that are waterproof and which feature antimicrobial product protection, the two most critical components for effective medical keyboards. Seal Shield Medical keyboards are 100% waterproof, so they can be cleaned with sprays or wipes without ever being disconnected or powered down. Seal Shield Medical keyboards are fully washable keyboards. They can be soaked in bleach, washed in a sink or even cleaned in an automatic dishwasher. Seal Shield Medical keyboards are independently certified to IP-68, which is the highest rating against dust, debris, and liquid ingress, signifying that Seal Shield medical keyboards are waterproof and fully submersible.

In addition to being 100% waterproof and washable, Seal Shield Medical keyboards are embedded with an antimicrobial additive that protects the product. Seal Shield waterproof technology, by enabling the user to clean the keyboard, helps protect the user from cross contamination infections. Additionally, all Seal Shield Medical keyboards meet the RoHS standard, certifying that they are free from harmful materials. Seal Shield antimicrobial product protection technology provides a level of protection of the product between cleaning procedures. That, coupled with their washability, makes Seal Shield Medical keyboards the most effective medical keyboards available.

Waterproof construction and antimicrobial product surface protection are the most important infection control features of a medical keyboard, but what is important from the IT perspective? Medical keyboards must be designed to accommodate the rigors of a healthcare environment. Hospitals often have significantly higher levels of radio interference due to the numerous medical devices that are deployed in combination with IT equipment. Seal Shield Medical keyboards have double shielded cables that exceed USB spec and include additional cable ferrites to eliminate radio frequency cross-talk. All Seal Shield keyboards are Microsoft certified and compatible with major healthcare ERP systems including Epic, Cerner, and Meditech. Medical keyboards are often deployed on mobile medical carts, requiring them to be extra durable. The MIS department will appreciate Seal Shield Medical keyboards because they are ruggedized and are available with a life time warranty.

Medical keyboards are available in numerous sizes, styles, and colors to suit any environment. Seal Shield Medical keyboards are available with cable size and connection options including long cable, Quick Connect™ cable, USB, PS/2, RF wireless, and Bluetooth. Only Seal Shield washable keyboards include a SEAL CAP™ USB protector, which protects the gold plated USB connector against water intrusion during full submersion. Seal Shield Medical Keyboards are available in IBM style, true type construction or with low profile keys. Some medical keyboards even include integrated pointing devices. Medical keyboards can be manufactured from plastic, silicone, acrylic or even glass. Seal Shield washable keyboards come in various sizes to support all major mobile medical carts, wall mounts and other healthcare applications.
